Nigeria’s Chief of Defence Staff, Alex Badeh, has said the military was avoiding the use of heavy power attacks on the abductors of school girls in Chibok, Borno, for the sake of the girls’ safety.
He, however, assured that the military would free the girls.
Mr. Badeh, an Air Chief Marshall, made the remark when the Board and Management of National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency, NOSDRA, paid a visit to the Defence Headquarters in Abuja on Wednesday.
The chief of defence staff assured that the military would soon free the school girls from their abductors.
He condemned the activities of the insurgents in the north, saying “what is happening in the northern Nigeria is pure madness.”
“It is not the number of those abducted that is the issue but the attendant psychological trauma of every parent.
